Brazing of Ti2AlNb based alloy with amorphous Ti-Cu-Zr-Ni filler

Amorphous Ti-Cu-Zr-Ni filler foils with low melting point of 1 133 K were synthesized using a melt-spinning method in argon atmosphere. A Ti2AlNb based alloy was brazed at 1 153–1 223 K for 600–3 000 s. The effects of brazing temperature (Tb) and time (tb) on the shear strength of the joints were investigated. The results showed that the joint strength was significantly affected by the reaction layer thickness. The optimum brazing parameters can be determined as follows: Tb=1 173 K, and tb=600 s. The maximum tensile strength of the joint obtained can reach 260 MPa. Furthermore, the activation energy Q and the growth velocity A0 of the reaction layer in the brazed joints were calculated to be 161.742 kJ/mol and 0.213 m2/s, respectively. The growth of the reaction layer (y) could be expressed by the expression: y2 =0.213exp(−19 454/Tb)tb.
